Winter Outfit Inspiration Straight From Princess Diana

There’s no question Princess Diana was ahead of her time when it came to fashion. As one of the best dressed royals ever, the famous mother to Prince William and Harry knew how to dress. While her pretty summer dresses and penchant for bike shorts gained her legions of fans, it was her winter outfits which really still ring true.

From oversized blazers to tracksuit sets and boyfriend jeans (before they were actually boyfriend jeans), Princess Diana’s knack of styling translates particularly well in 2019, when ‘80s shapes and silhouettes are having their second moment in the sun. So while gumboots and tartan might not be your go-to winter outfit, we guarantee these throwback photos of Princess Diana might just change your mind.
